MATCH THREAD: Bath vs Leinster, Sat 21st Nov 2015 15:15, The Rec, BTEUR

Clegg

Clear out work is abysmal.

molloyjh

How in Gods name can you say Webber was supporting his weight!?

errlloyd

Triggs was very good today.

Clegg

Dom Ryan in at lock?

Jesus wept.

Fireball07

Ruddock into the row?

A-Train

Triggs off injured, Dom Ryan on

Swan Curry

May as well be 14 v 15 with Ryan on

Larbre34

I moaned about that 2nd row cover yesterday, a junior player whos a specialist is better than make-and-do

molloyjh

What was that from Sexton!?

molloyjh

9-9 after 56. Come on boys!

Thanos

Getting sick of all the Ryan hate on boards atm. Way over the top. It seems like people think it is the cool bandwagon to be on.

A-Train

9-9 56 mins gone, Sexton pen

Fireball07

Mad Matawalu.

molloyjh

Ferg looks like he's gone. Whiplash when he landed there.....ouch. Bring on Ringrose! Oh no, wait.....

Couldn't agree more.

Sticking the boot in before he even gets a touch, I don't understand that sort of miserable spite.

aimee1

his head bounced off the ground there

molloyjh

My God what the hell is going on with our scrum?

No it's not.

Fireball07

Odd decision.

Utopia Parkway

Scrum has been desperate today.

awec

New props, same outcome.

A-Train

I know we have a back row in the 2nd row but our scrum has gone to pot this season.

pickarooney

Well Ross, Healy and Triggs aren't the root cause of that muck scrum.

Clegg

Pen try coming up on recent scrum form.

Fireball07

Attacking scrum 5m out- penalty try on the cards if Leinster don't buck up.

molloyjh

That line-out wasn't even remotely straight. Why do they never ping that when team go to the front?

Crimsonforce

I know I said earlier that front three were getting minced and called for them to be changed..
Now what I meant was change whole lot in the front 8

AdamD

Pen try after one scrum??

Fireball07

Was that definitely going to be a try? Probably, I suppose.

errlloyd

With their front row standing up right.

A-Train

Shocking just shocking, scrum is a farce.

molloyjh

In most scrums that would be called as both front rows going up and reset. Both popped up at the same time.

Clegg

Irish scrum was rock solid at the World Cup with mostly the same props on the pitch. Now we're getting reamed.

Utopia Parkway

Are Bath known as a strong scrummaging side? Doing a right number on Leinster today anyway.

Doesn't have to be a repeat offence. Right call imo

Bath strolling forward though, Leinster getting marched back all day.

aimee1

game over i reckon.

Stheno

HOrrible game again today

Yeah I reckon your right, nothing out there today has suggested that they will change the current score line

AdamD

Just stop kicking the ****ing ball

Forwards or backwards doesn't matter a damn. There has to be an infringement for a penalty. Both front rows popped up at exactly the same time.

heybaby

Leinster are utterly lacking in energy and look totally toothless, listless and apathetic. Need a miracle to turn this around.

errlloyd

Good chance there, teo drops it.

pickarooney

Yawn. How long till the next world cup?

Got to remember the internationals are still only just back and our centres have only played together twice. We have an issue in the forwards though. I don't know where the problems are in the scrum, front or second row, but that's 2 weeks in a row where we've been dominated there.

Listless is exactly what I'm thinking.

pickarooney

Meanwhile Bakkies Botha misses a conversion against Argentina.

Rightwing

If you can't score a try in your opening 2 games, you deserve to be out. No question about that.

molloyjh

Young lads = try!

errlloyd

Amazing.
